Origine from South East Europe: Greece - rocky slopes of Crete, where it forms a silvery grey subshrub with a compact mass of branches and spines...grazing-resistant. In summer it flowers with bright yellow solatary flowers with orange anthers.
Cultivation sunny, dry, rock crevices, protection against winter wet. Suited for poor, well drained soil on a sunny hot spot.
